After washing the dishes, Chu Yang dried his hands and came out. He saw Shen Nanxi lying on the chair, clutching her stomach, and asked her with affection.

"How about we go for a walk in the park to help digest our food?"

"I'm going, I'm so full from dinner."

The two insects walked side by side in the park, and other insects passing by couldn't help but glance at Chu Yang a few more times.

Shen Nanxi noticed several female insects trying to strike up a conversation, and while Chu Yang wasn't looking, she secretly gave them a warning look.

“I found a job at a construction site near the mall, painting walls. I get paid daily, one star a day, and lunch is included.”

"Brother, how can you go to work, especially a construction site? It's too tiring."

Shen Nanxi stepped forward, blocking Chu Yang's path, her eyes red and on the verge of tears.

Chu Yang reached out and ruffled his hair; it felt pretty good.

"I am a male insect, the head of the family. It is only natural for me to go out and earn money to support the family. It's no big deal. Besides, I don't feel tired at all with such a high-paying job."

Shen Nanxi felt a pang of sadness, tears welling up in her eyes. She suddenly threw herself into Chu Yang's arms, hugging his waist tightly.

Chu Yang, suddenly embraced, was left with his hands hanging in the air, unsure whether to put them down. Only when he heard soft sobs coming from his chest did he gently place his hands on Shen Nanxi's back.

After returning from his walk outside, Chu Yang went into the kitchen and took out a bowl of white flour, a small basin of rested dough, and some pre-mixed minced meat.

They placed all of these on the dining table, and while Shen Nanxi looked bewildered, they brought out a plate of sliced ​​peaches and rainbow cupcakes from the kitchen.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

"The supermarket had a sale today, so I bought two bags of flour to make some dumplings and steamed buns so we can have a hot breakfast."

Chu Yang took out the pink apron he had just bought today and put it on. He originally wanted to change to another color, but he didn't expect that only this color apron was a proper apron.

"These are the peaches and cake you bought yesterday. They'll spoil if we don't eat them today. I'll make dumplings, and you can eat the fruit."

After saying that, Chu Yang skillfully grabbed a handful of flour and sprinkled it on the table, then took out the rested dough, placed it on top, and kneaded it a few more times.

After kneading the dough, cut it into strips with a knife, then pinch each strip into roughly equal-sized pieces. Take out a rolling pin and start rolling each piece into a thin, round dough sheet.

Under Shen Nanxi's shocked gaze, she wrapped a small lump of meat filling inside each of the round little dough wrappers, and finally used her fingers to seal the dough wrappers little by little. With a slight bend, a crescent-shaped dumpling was made.

The dough was quickly used up, but there was still meat filling left.

"Oh dear, I misjudged the situation. The dough didn't rise enough. It's okay, I'll rise some more tonight and make steamed buns tomorrow."

So Chu Yang put all the wrapped dumplings into the freezer, and preserved the remaining meat filling.

I used the bowl from when I let the dough rest to make some more dough, and then covered it with a damp towel.

"Brother, you're amazing! You know so much!"

Chu Yang smiled at the praise. These were all skills he had used to save his life; otherwise, he would have starved to death long ago.

"It's not that difficult. You can make your own way. It's getting late, you should get some rest too."

Shen Nanxi's hopes of finding an opportunity tonight were dashed once again, because Chu Yang went straight upstairs, entered the room, closed the door, and all his actions were so seamless that he didn't even give her a chance to speak.

After entering the room, Chu Yang immediately locked the door before daring to take his pajamas to take a shower.

I was a bit tired from working all day, so after taking a shower, I fell asleep as soon as I lay down on the bed.

After taking a shower, Shen Nanxi came out, turned on her personal terminal, and saw that Chu Yang's name had been dimmed, presumably because he was too tired during the day.

Lying in bed, looking at the contacts on her personal terminal, Shen Nanxi's gaze finally settled on Chu Yang's name. After a long while, she reluctantly turned off the personal terminal.

Before dawn, Chu Yang's alarm clock rang. After getting up, he went for a run in the park and even bumped into a few other early risers.

After my run, I took a shower and went to the kitchen. The dough from last night had risen, and I planned to make some steamed buns.

Shen Nanxi woke up a little earlier today than yesterday; to be precise, he woke up when Chu Yang woke up.

It wasn't because they were telepathically connected, but because Shen Nanxi had activated a special notification function. Whenever Chu Yang's name lit up, he would receive a notification.

From the window, Shen Nanxi could see Chu Yang running in the park, and especially the few female insects passing by. She had already mentally listed them as key targets to watch out for.

After staying in the room for a while, Shen Nanxi came downstairs. The room was filled with the aroma of meat.

"Brother, are you making steamed buns?"

Shen Nanxi, wearing white pajamas, stood at the kitchen doorway, rubbing her eyes.

"Yes, it's almost ready. Go wash up and change your clothes, then you can eat."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

After Shen Nanxi changed her clothes, Chu Yang had already served the steamed buns.

"It's a bit hot, let it cool down before eating, and have some porridge first."

He ladled a bowl of warm minced meat porridge and placed it next to Shen Nanxi, then ladled half a bowl for himself.

Shen Nanxi scooped up a spoonful of minced meat porridge, found it delicious, and continued to stuff it into her mouth spoonful after spoonful.

After he finished his bowl, Chu Yang gave him another bowl. Seeing that the buns next to him were almost finished, he picked out a large one for him.

"The steamed buns are ready to eat."

Shen Nanxi took a bite of the steamed bun and immediately felt the meat filling, which was fresh, tender, and juicy.

"It's delicious, brother, your cooking is really delicious."

"If it tastes good, eat more."

After the two insects finished eating, there were still three buns left. Shen Nanxi put them in a bag and planned to take them to the hospital for lunch.

After tidying up the kitchen, Chu Yang went out to work. By then, it was already fully light, and there were more insects on the road. Everyone was in a hurry to come and go.

Along the way, he didn't see any breakfast vendors. Chu Yang had some plans in mind, but the prerequisite for these plans was having money.

Zhang San was waiting at the construction site entrance early in the morning. When he saw the figure that kept him awake last night, he quickly pretended to bump into her by chance.

"What a coincidence, Lord Chu Yang, you've arrived so early."

Zhang San, his face slightly flushed, said to Chu Yang.

Unfortunately, his skin was a bit dark, so Chu Yang didn't notice his complexion.

"It's getting late, I'll be late if I stay any longer, Manager Zhang, I'm going to get back to work."

After saying that, Chu Yang strode forward. When he turned his back to Zhang San, the smile on his face disappeared. He could see Zhang San standing at the door from a distance. Zhang San must be catching the latecomers. Luckily, he had arrived early.

I absolutely cannot lose this job. I received my salary yesterday, and I spent it all, even losing some of my savings. So, I need to start saving money properly from now on.

"Lord Chu Yang, you've arrived so early."

Xiao Liu was carrying the newly received paint to get to work when he turned around and saw Chu Yang behind him in line. He had thought Chu Yang wouldn't come today, since he was too tired and no male insect could keep up.

“Master Liu also arrived early, I certainly won’t hold you back.”

The painters here work in pairs, with a fixed workload each day. If one painter slacks off, the other has to work overtime.

Chu Yang didn't want to do that, because he was really afraid that his true identity would be discovered.

At the hospital, Shen Nanxi was in a good mood today, and even when seeing patients, she was more patient with them.

"Dr. Shen, why do you seem so happy today?"

His colleague next to him asked him in a low voice.

"Hehe, my brother cooked for me himself."

"What? Your lord actually cooks for you?"

His colleague stood up in surprise, walked up to him, and touched his forehead.

"You don't have a fever, so why are you talking nonsense?"

"Hey, you don't believe me? Then take a look at this."

Shen Nanxi pulled out the three steamed buns she had brought that morning from the drawer, looked at her colleague with a smug expression, and said proudly.

"Look, these are the steamed buns my brother made for me early this morning. They're so delicious."

I only showed them the buns once before quickly putting them back in the drawer, afraid they would be snatched away.

"Wow~, Dr. Shen, how can your master be so good? Does he need female servants? Or female slaves are also fine."

Shen Nanxi glared at her colleague warily, pouted, and turned her head away.

"Hmph, my brother would never marry a lot of female servants like other male insects. You can all give up on that idea."
